Be it known that I, Hnmiuon Saveurs, en-

den, in the German Empire, have inventrmer, of Achern, in the Grand Duchy of Pd new and useful Improvements in ratus for the Manufacture of Hollowv ass Articles, Such as Bottles, of `which the fol-v lowing is a specification.

'The resent invention relates to an appa- V ratus or the manufacture of hollow glass articles, such as bottles, and has for its object ito essentially simplify the said manufacture. ,I

It refers to that class ofA apparatus which consists of an intermediate receiver. arranged in the glass furnace or a Vchamber thereof and from which the molten glass is pressed I into alreceiving mold or the like placed with itsopen lower. end upon an outlet of the re- 20 ceiver.

`According to the present invention` the mtermediate receiver is arranged in the glass furnaceor the chamber thereof in `such a' manner'that the mouth of the glassyoutlet nel' for the glaashas such 'a shape-ile. ingwalls, that the glass falling out of or of from the receiving mold autvfnnutic'al-lyl is fed hack to the furnace, so that 1t can only enter again the intermediate receiver` in a thoroughly molten state. t

1 The `receiving mold carries 'a knife which is arranged-,so as to be swung. around the. lower open end of tlliformer and which is 40 provided with a hole .jt

Baugh which the gna is pressed from theoatet channel of the in` termediate receiver to the receiving mold. The said knife sits down on the mouth of the outlet channel of the intermediate rerei ver when the receiving'mnld is lowered for heil'g filled, and therelry'Y prevents a direct contact between the walls of outlet ch'a nel of the receiver and the mold so that thle disadvantage of the glass clogging to the recelving mold is avoided.

The apparatus is lshown on the accompanying drawings in which represent: Figure l a vertical sectional viewof a partof the l meltingr furnace and of a machine for mannfncturmg hollow glass articles. y

intermediate receiver or hollow block `2' of.

fireproof material is arranged as isclearly shown onthe drawing in sucha manner that the openingpf the outlet channel 4 is wholly furnace vgases so-that the glass must leave th block 2 and enter the receiving mold in a perfectly liquid state and can-V not harden or freeze whenbeing deliveredv to the receiving mold; AThe block. is .pro-

Said opening is advantageously the like (not shown) when the receiving mold -is raised above the upper wall' of the furnace.' I y Opposite the opening 7 of the furnace the mac me serving for themanufactu-ring of the glassarticles is arranged in such a mauner that its receivi-ngmold 14 may be swung over the opening 7 and then lowered upon the mouth of the channel 4 ofy the intermediate receiver; The machine consists of a vertical shaft 9 which allows of being turned in the foot 10and also of being lowered 4and raised and which carries on its top part 'an arm 8. The pipe llprovided with a cock l2 serves for passingcompr'essed air to the hollow space 'of the foot 10'and for raising therebythe rshaft. 9. By passing o5 lthe pressure medium the Ivhaft 9 is lowered. To the free vend of the arm' Spins 13 are fixed on which the two halves of thefreceiving mold J4 are t rnably fastened.

The" nife 25 is provided with an opening 26 for allowing fthe glass to assfrom thechannel 4 to the receiving mol Fixed tothe knife is a hand lever .27 by .means of which the formercanbe swu` into the required iosi` tions. The halves o the receiving mol are opened by means ofthelevers 28 and 29. As shown on thedrawingthe lever 28 is formed as a hund lever,gwhereas,the lever 29 ingthemouth of the c block 2 and the knife 2 5 havi lreceivingmo A pressed air.y `The glass cut off falls down (by way of examfpleymaybe connected'by 30 to an eccentric (not keyed oo theshaft of the motor sol e levers may be actuated and the means of the e ro that t halves f the receiving mold be o ned or closed either by hand or automatica the .main shaft of the machine.
